Valencia's pov

"Encia, you've been crying for two days straight and we're all worried. Even mom she asked if you wanted us to leave you alone?" Sante says coming into my room. I wipe the tears from my face as he sits on the side of my bed. "Do you want me to leave?" I shake my head no he hugs me tightly letting me cry.

I don't know how I have any tears left in me.

I haven't felt this hurt since Elesio died. "Everyones worried about you. We haven't seen you like this since you know"

"Sante he um I walked in on him and I um I" My heart feels heavy. Everything hurts. Is that what heartbreak is supposed to feel like? It didn't hurt like this before. Why does it hurt so much now? What did I do wrong? Is this pay back from all the wrong I've done?

Did the universe finally catch up with me?

Dad comes into the room closing the door behind him. "You look a little better?" He tries to offer peace by sitting next to Sante. "I still feel like shit" He gives me a sad smile. "Are you still up to talk about it?" Sante asks and I nod

"What exactly happened?" Dad says

"Everything was fine till it wasn't. We were going on dates, we'd spend as much time as we could together. It was like we were in a relationship without the title. He promised me that anything him and Tatiana had was over. They used to be Fuck buddies I guess I don't know. I had just finished my marketing project and I just wanted to be with him. His door was locked but he had given me a key to use whenever. He told me use it when my door is locked. I went inside looking for him and then I found him with Tatiana. I shouldn't be upset because we weren't together but I feel so betrayed and used"

"Encia" They both hug me tightly I just keep crying. How am I able to have all these tears? Do I deserve to cry? "You have every right to be upset, what he did to you was wrong. No matter how you put it, it was wrong." Dad says, trying to stop my tears.

"I love him"

Dad and Sante freeze. It's the first time I've been so raw with my emotions since Eliseo died. The first time I let people see that I am in pain. Dad wipes my face giving me his best smile. "You have a big heart Valencia whether you chose to show it or not you do. You didn't deserve that and you shouldn't be crying over someone who doesn't deserve you. You are worth a lot more than him and you will get past this I promise." Sante agrees with him.

They both keep trying to cheer me up before mom calls them downstairs. She comes into my room hugging me tightly. "I'm sorry Valencia" I hug her back holding my tears "he-" I don't even want to say it again

"I know I heard you don't have to say it again" mom says "you deserve more than him and I'm sorry your first heartbreak this is how it happens"

"I still love him, is that wrong?"

"No it's not. Sometimes this is the universe telling you guys you need time apart. Your dad and I took a long time apart before we found each other again."

"Really?"

"Yeah we both were young and we were engaged. We got engaged at 17. It felt like we were on top of the world. It was a few months before the wedding and we got into this huge argument. We couldn't be in the same room too long without wanting to kill each other. We called off the wedding and went our separate ways. I didn't see your dad for 3 years after that. When we saw each other it was at a gala. We just talked for hours; it felt like nothing changed. We took it day by day and finally got back together. If we wouldn't have left each other when we were 17 we wouldn't be back together now.

Eliseo was born when we were 21. You and Sante came right after. Sometimes you need to be away from a person for you guys to have a future. If in the future you give him a chance again maybe it'll be for the best. If not then someone better will come."

"Mom, do you blame me for Eliseo dying?"

"I never did, I just didn't know how to handle it. I still don't, the day he died was the absolute worst day of my life. I lost a part of me when he died. I should have never taken it out on you and Sante. You both remind me of him so much. There are days you'll do something I'll go to his room to tell him you learned from him but it's always empty on the other side"

"I thought you hated me"

"I could never hate you Valencia your my daughter I'll always love you even when I don't know how to show it"

"Do you think we'll end up like how you and dad did?"

"I saw the way he looked at you when they were here for Christmas. He looked at you like you were his everything. Some people change in a few months, it could go either way. That's a choice you have to make. Are you willing to hear him out or are you ready to move on?"
